Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The revolution referred to in the question is likely the Ethiopian Revolution of 1974, which overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie and established a Marxist-Leninist government. This government, known as the Derg, fought against separatist movements in various parts of Ethiopia, including Eritrea. Eritrea, which had been part of Ethiopia since the 1950s, declared independence in 1993 following a long and bloody war. As a predominantly Muslim and culturally distinct region, Eritrea is therefore the best choice for the answer to this question. The other options (Botswana, Sudan, and Uganda) are all countries in Africa, but they do not fit the description provided in the question.
